    That punch is a thing of beauty. It's like a "no shadow" punch that his opponent can't see coming.

    Everyone is expecting his vicious left hooks and right hands, but never sees the sweeping uppercut coming. He has used this punch to great effectiveness in his recent fights. Off the top of my head:

    Rubio - The uppercut came out of nowhere to rock Rubio and started the beginning of the end for him.

    Rosado - Again, the uppercut that rocked Rosado from long range and forced him on a retreat and lead to the stoppage.

    Monreo - Monroe didn't see it coming and got his brain scrambled by that punch. It was the punch that started the combination that stopped him.

    He also used it a lot in the Lemieux fight and hurt him multiple times with it.

    The Rubio uppercut was so fast that I had to rewatch that moment to fully enjoy it.
